The Picture Thread Vol. 14: ♫ Very Superstitious ♫

Yo.

You must have hit the right shows. Before I lost my affinity for autograph collecting, I used to do a lot of CSA shows (a mix of celebs and sports stars) and $50 was about the best price a person could expect. On the other end of the spectrum were guys like Jim Brown, who charged $300....yes $300.

Well, it's been 2 years since I was there (it's a horror con in the Philadelphia area), but I doubt the prices are up that much. The most "outrageous" thing to me was that Roddy Piper charged extra for a photo with him. No one else at the these cons (including Robert "Freddy" Englund, George Romero, or Malcolm McDowell) did that. He seemed nice himself, though.
Yeah, iirc $30 is the most I've ever spent on a single autograph and I probably have more than 50. The cheapest (besides a couple guys who said "no charge" for just signing my DVD covers) was $10 (all within the last 6 years or so). The average was probably $20 (including guys like Tony "Candyman" Todd and Doug "Pinhead" Bradley).
If I were at a con where $50 was the cheap autograph, I'd get very picky suddenly (only my favorite movies).
Maybe horror cons are cheaper. G-Fest is even better. There, you buy a $5 ticket to get all of the guests (usually 3 or 4) to sign up to 3 items each. That's because (obviously) it's an arrangement between the con and the guest stars (I was at a Trek con that did a similar thing).

.........Im guess U guys havent been to a con where Nimoy, West or Shatner were in attendence, cuz *none* of their autographs come in under -$50 (West might be the cheapest of the 3 tho.)

Depends on the con. I go to a lot of horror conventions and the majority of those actors (even names like Eric Roberts) charged $20. The high end ones (like Romero or Roddy Piper) charged $30.

That's the next part of A-Train's tradition. He subtly influences the kids' Uncles to murder the fathers and exile the kids, then goes out later and finds the kids, hits them in the head with a stick, and babbles cryptically at them until they go home and "take care" of their Uncle.

That's right, Rafiki is really the puppetmaster driving the entire plot of the movie...

Wow, you managed to snag that quote before I realized the metaphor didn't work and edited it. Speedy!

Ditto to you. I deleted that post sometime before I saw your reply (it didn't seem as funny as I first thought).
